Gary Lineker sums up what all Tottenham fans are feeling after Burnley victory

Gary Lineker seems to be enjoying Tottenham Hotspur's start to the 2020-21 season.

Since losing 1-0 to Everton on the opening day, Jose Mourinho's men have gone unbeaten in 10 matches in all competitions.

Spurs saw off Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor on Monday night to move up to fifth in the Premier League table.

With three wins, two draws and one loss, they are just two points off top spot.

And it would have been even better, had it not been for conceding late equalisers against both Newcastle United and West Ham.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have once again been key men for Tottenham.

Kane has scored five goals and provided eight assists in the league already, while Son have scored eight and made two assists.

Remarkably, seven of Kane's assists have been finished off by Son, including the winner at Burnley.

That prompted former Spurs striker Lineker to tweet: "The old Kane and Son routine works again."

One follower replied: "On my head Son", while another said: "You know what they say - 'the Son always shines on TV'".

And another reply simply read: "Kane is just outstanding".

Meanwhile, former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is backing Kane and Son to both compete for the Premier League Golden Boot this season.

"When you talk about that front three, Liverpool's front three is incredible, but certainly, them two are just such fantastic players," Redknapp told talkSPORT.

"They are such fantastic players, so unselfish, they work for the team and Harry Kane, what a professional.

"A complete all-round footballer and Sonny has just got better and better. As a pair, you can see them both being up there with the leading goalscorers, they will both be very close."
